With the European football championships in France in full swing, Air France pilots are set to go on strike from June 24 to 27, three major unions told news agency AFP, reports FRANCE 24.
The unions said they were downing tools after management made “very vague promises” in negotiations during the last strike between June 11 and 14.
Air France management said it “deplored” the latest strike threat, condemning the unions for “unreasonable demands” incompatible with the “resonponsible running of a business”.
Last week’s strike, which grounded around 20 percent of flights, mainly to mid-range destinations, generated losses of 40 million euros, it added.
Pilots say that new pay rules decided by management in June would lower their salaries by five percent.
